In a significant diplomatic engagement held in Beijing, the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Mohammad Ishaq Dar,
joined China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi, along with Afghanistan’s Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, for an informal trilateral
meeting focused on regional cooperation.
The meeting reaffirmed the importance of trilateral collaboration between the three nations, with
the ministers emphasizing the importance of advancing regional security and economic integration.
During their discussions, the foreign
ministers explored ways to strengthen diplomatic dialogue and practical collaboration.
They identified trade, infrastructure, and
development as key engines for regional prosperity and committed to enhancing connectivity initiatives across their shared borders.
A key
highlight of the meeting was the agreement to deepen cooperation under China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), with a particular focus on
extending the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) into Afghanistan.
This extension is expected to bring transformative infrastructure
